The laser center offers laser welding to the industry with equipment in the international super league. The center assists with both the development of welding procedures and job-shop work.

FORCE Technology has Scandinavia’s largest laser centre where we carry out laser welding with some of the most modern and precise equipment in the business. Our laser welding specialists are ready to assist all the way from the design of the component to actual pilot production.

The laser centre is used for the research and development of new processes for laser machining and for zero-series production for national and international companies.

The laser centre has helped the European Space Agency (ESA) with the advanced laser welding of rocket nozzles and manufactured gas cylinders for use with airbags for the automobile industry.
